Early voting is under way in Bexar County for numerous municipal, special and bond elections.

Balloting started at 8 a.m. Monday at the 27 early-voting locations and continued until 6 p.m. The same polling hours will be in effect through Friday.

San Antonio voters are deciding the fate of five bond proposals, totaling $596 million, to improve streets, bridges and sidewalks; drainage and flood control; parks, recreation and open space; library, museum and cultural arts facilities; and public safety facilities.

Also on San Antonio's ballot is a proposed amendment to the City Charter that would change the way some council vacancies are filled, from the current appointment system to special elections.

Voters are choosing a District 5 trustee for Alamo Colleges, and Northeast Independent School District voters have three contested trustee races, in Places 4, 5 and 6.
